Strategic planning
One of the most positive activities you can undertake as an organisation is strategic planning. It gives everyone in the organisation a clear guide as to how you are going to achieve your vision and objectives.
Investors in People can provide you with guidance, information and advice on strategic planning.
Investors in People can help you to create:
- A clear vision of where the organisation is going – strategic direction.
- SMART (specific, measurable, agreed, attainable and achievable, realistic and resourced, time bound) objectives that give clear milestones along the way.
- A clear and concise plan that everyone can understand.
- Buy in from your people, so that they understand and are committed to the plan.
- A process for reviewing and updating your plan on an ongoing basis, so that it is a working document.
Practical Ideas
- Involve your people in pulling together your vision and the plan.
- Use short, clear sections of text and graphics in your plan.
- Use diagrams, pictures, photographs and graphs.
- Use your plan, review it and change it regularly.
